 Center for Service and LearningThe Center for Service and Learning was created to promote an ethic of service and to develop civic-minded leadership among all members of the college community. Our purpose is to recognize and understand the civic and social challenges of our world and to act with others in pursuit of a just society. We are located upstairs in the Worner Campus Center, Room 205, x6846. We have four full-time professional staff and 17 student staff. We support and advise over 40 different on-going service and philanthropic organizations that provide a wide variety of service opportunities for students; help facilitate over 100 one-time service events and projects each year; coordinate the New Student Orientation Priddy Service Experience and the Saturday of Service program; provide ASPIRE and the Capstone Service Experience to support the development of service leadership; sponsor speakers and events for the campus and local community; and build local, regional, and international links with organizations working for the common good. The Center also assists faculty with the development of community-based learning (CBL) courses – academic courses that promote student learning while meeting community needs. |
